Description

System and method for providing health care services related to urine analysis The present disclosure relates to a system and method for providing healthcare services related to urine analysis. In general, urine tests are essential tests, accounting for about 30% of total tests in most hospitals, and are a diagnostic method that examines the components of urine to determine the condition of the body and lesions. The conventionally widely used method for such urine tests involves applying a test stick equipped with a test strip to the subject's urine and analyzing the urine based on the color change of the strip. In other words, the examiner either applies the urine directly to the test stick or collects the urine using a container such as a paper cup, and then applies the test stick to the urine for testing. When performing a urine test on a urine test kit equipped with a flat test strip using a urine analysis device, the test is performed by irradiating light onto the entire surface of the flat test strip and determining the color by receiving the reflected light. However, when using a urine test kit equipped with a flexible test strip, it is difficult to determine the color of the entire surface of the flexible test strip if the conventional testing method is applied. In addition, if the degree of curvature, such as the radius of curvature or radius, varies for each urine test kit, there is a problem in that a urine test device capable of accurate identification must be prepared for each shape. In addition, a device is required to display the results of a urine analysis using a urine analysis device to the user, or to provide health management services related to the urine analysis to the user.
